Publishers Weekly
The name is terrifically cheeky, and wood worker (Fannie within the Kitchen) outdoes herself in those mixed-media illustrations. The unnamed heroine, who resembles a move among Ramona Quimby and Eloise, generates the name record due to her free-spirited, rule-breaking notions. "I had an concept to staple my brother's hair to his pillow," accompanies a photo-collage photo of a stapler clamping onto a pillow nook, with a pen-and-ink drawing of the brother's drowsing face. contrary, the boy, sure into his pillowcase, clings to his mom: "I am no longer allowed to take advantage of the stapler anymore." Offill (Last issues, for adults), making her children's publication debut, follows with a litany of forbidden habit encompassing every little thing from no longer being allowed to make ice cubes ("I had an concept to freeze a useless fly within the ice dice tray") not to being allowed "to speak (even just a little) approximately beavers anymore" (because she "had an concept that [she] may well run away to dwell with the type and chuffed beavers"). chippie makes use of a fluid, based ink line to express a powerful repertoire of expressions-she's both adept at portraying a playground tattletale and a mother on the finish of her rope. teenagers can be intrigued via the pictures' playful feel of composition in addition to the heroine's brazenness, yet should be stuck off-guard by means of the abrupt end. a long time 4-8.

Children's Literature - Ken Marantz
Our mischievous yet pleasant heroine is the type of child who makes mom and dad and lecturers outdated prior to their time, yet nonetheless makes us chuckle. As she describes the 17 issues she's no longer allowed to do from now on, we will see why. between her "great ideas" are stapling her brother's hair to his pillow, gluing his slippers to the ground, strolling backward all of the solution to university, and dedicating her George Washington document "to all beavers that ever lived." As she maintains placing her rules into motion at domestic, freezing a lifeless fly within the ice dice tray and ordering dinner from her mom as though she have been a waitress, her mom despairs. they appear to arrive contract with a last hug, yet then even her "I'm sorry" supplies extra mischief forward. chippie combines a full of life pen and ink black line with naturalistic colours and electronic media to offer plausible children and an impatient instructor within the school room; a stern crossing defend; an infuriated brother reacting to a bombardment with cauliflower. The mottled glance of the paper is completed via crumpling it and submitting with an emery board; Adobe Photoshop is used to rescan and manage the kind; bits of photograph university are extra for a clean visible glance. The glue she is smilingly squeezing from the bottle at the jacket has an enticing three-d quality.

K-Gr 3-Ingenious artwork-a perfect marriage of electronic imagery and pen-and-ink-is undoubtedly the focal point of this profitable name. In it, an incorrigible little lady lists all of the shiny principles she's ever had and a few of the methods they've gotten her into difficulty. From stapling her brother's hair to his pillow (no extra stapler) to gluing his slippers to the ground (no extra glue), her outside-the-box pondering draws lots of cognizance, it all damaging. wood worker brings intensity and texture to every unfold by means of adjusting photo-realistic parts to scale and embedding them into the artwork. The impact is either amazing and subtle-"real" wooden grain, blades of grass, the chrome-plated information on lecture room furniture-all are seamlessly built-in round a winsome solid of well-drawn characters. a few photograph books are overconceptualized, overdesigned, and customarily overdone, yet this one is simply approximately picture-perfect.-Catherine Threadgill, Charleston County Public Library, SC Copyright 2006 Reed enterprise Information.

Kirkus Reviews
A lass tallies her pranks and resulting punishments during this Judith Viorst-like plaint. truly, "punishments" is just too robust a note, as stapling her little brother's hair to his pillow, exhibiting her underpants to classmate Jeremy after which later atmosphere his shoe on hearth with a magnifying glass turns out to attract no retribution past instructions to not do it back: "I am now not allowed to take advantage of the glue anymore." a few of her misdemeanors are very humorous: "I am now not allowed to provide the present of cauliflower anymore." yet a few truly earn genuine punishments: a college detention and an escort domestic by means of the crossing shield. eventually, while she says the other of what she fairly means-"I'm sorry"-she earns forgiveness. chippie makes use of ink, paint and clipped photographs to create vigorous scenes that includes a deceptively successful younger narrator with brief, messy hair and, frequently, a convinced or conceited expression. a few readers might locate this younger envelope-pusher entertainingly lively, yet there are bound to be people who are going to draw back on the proposal of pretending to be sorry and having it paintings.
